hi my name is rebecca and i REALLY WANT TO BECOME A MERMAID. when i turned 2 i had this HUGE obsetion about mermaids and ever since i have wanted to become 1!!!!!!!!!!!! PPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEE TELL ME HOW TO BECOME ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello. Well my names Ocean & i'm a mermaid. Alot of you all want to become a mermaid, but i will warn you now, there are times when you just want to be normal like everybody else again. Being a mermaid is hard to control and although you can live a normal life and go out with your friends you have to be really cautious around water. You can't go to pool parties, you can't go swimming, you cant go to family barbeques incase they throw you in the pool. Its not all fun and games, its hard work, but if you really think you can handle it, i'll tell you exactly how to be a mermaid like me. I don't know if you've seen the show H2O:Just add water? All i can say is its a load of rubbish. Its nothing at all like being a real mermaid. You don't have powers, you just grow tails when you touch water. And the tails are blue & purple, not orange! Well it all started nearly a year ago now. I went to the beach with my friends. I was messing around and having a great time, and being the over confident swimmer i used to be, i swam right in the currents, i couldnt see the shore anywhere, but i figured i'd be fine. So i kept swimming and swimming until i was out of breath and tired. I don't know what happened, i just went under and gave up trying to get back. I opened my eyes and saw a pit at the bottom of the sea floor, it was dark and i couldnt see what was in there, but i was dragged up by someone who put me on a boat. I blacked out. I got out of hospital the next day, i was fine, just tired. I couldnt stop thinking about the pit at southsea beach. So i snuck out in the middle of the night and borrowed a snorkle. I swam into the currents again, desperately looking for the pit that i'd seen earlier before. Finally, i came across it and swam down and inside it. I saw the the top of the water so i swam up. I was in a small room, surrounded by water falls and rocks. I climbed out of the water and onto the side. As i took a glance around i saw something engraved on the wall. I dont know what possessed me to do it, but i read it aloud. 'Acuana, revunista, lockenbuf, leavum ..' I cant remember it off by heart. But as i read it aloud the water started to rise until it hit the roof of the pool. It overflowed the sides & all of a sudden there was this bright blue light that blinded me. Then i heard a crack, and the side of the pool opened up and i was dragged into it. Next thing i know, im back on southsea beach. I went home and had a bath at 4:50am where i had the shock of my life. A blue & purple tail had grown where my legs are supposed to be. It vanishes when im dry. I went back to southsea beach and swam down to the pit again. It looked like nothing had happened there. I now think of it as my second home. I go there all the time. I know my way there like the back of my hand. Its just tough being a mermaid on my own. I have to keep it a secret all to myself.

All i can say as a tip is go to southsea beach. Take 11 steps from the edge of the shore so your toes are touching the water and swim straight ahead for 27 seconds. Turn right. Swim for another 78 seconds. Dive under. Swim straight down and you will see the pit. By the way, i'd wear a snorkle until your a mermaid, incase of you drowning. Anyways, carry on swimming down and you will see the pit. Swim inside the pit until you reach the top and climb on the side. Your in a small circular room with waterfalls and rocks and everything. Look at all the walls until you see a wall with an inscription on there. Say the inscription aloud. Its a spell. When you have said the spell you will be blinded by a blue light. You will hear a loud crack and be dragged between 2 walls for about 29 seconds. Go home and take a bath. When your in the bath for 5 seconds you get a stinging pain in your legs, it really hurts at first, but thats only for the first time you change into a mermaid. And thats it. Your a mermaid for life. I hope this helps. And i hope you know what your doing, and i hope you know that theres no turning back.

Hi. I've found throughout my years obsessed with mermaids that spells don't work. You can't (to the best of my knowlage) phisically become a mermaid, but with a lot of dedication and a little crafting skill, you can make and learn how to use a mermaid tail.

All you need is:(pattern)paper (any kind will work)scissorsmarkertape(tail)vynle or wetsuit materialmonofinthreadsewing machine

Here's How:1. tape together lots of paper and using a marker, trace your legs on it down to your anckles. Leave 3.5 inches sewing room. Place the monofin (buyable online or in a scuba store) where your feet would be on the pattern and trace it. Leave 1.5 inches sewing room. Cut out the pattern as a whole. 2. Fold over your fabric and trace your pattern on one side. then cut out both sides as a whole so that they match up. place them with the side you wnt out facing eachouthe and sew around the edges. Hem the waist hole so it won't unravvle in water. 3. Turn your tail rightside out and roll up the monofin to easily push it to the bottom of the tail and do so. Sew elastic onto the inside of the waisthole. Congrats! You have made your tail! Try it on and make adjustments.

ummmmm... ive been in love with mermaids pretty much since the day i was born. i would love to be a mermaid like you ocean but i dont live in england. i dont want to use a spell because the bible says to stay away from that, so any non-spells that i can use? i also believe that a mermaid lives in my lake. once when i was five i started to drown. after i was fully under i felt somthing human grab me and pull twords the surface. when i was back on land i looked at the water and out of the corner of my eye i saw her fin go underwater. another time i called out a chant (dont worry, i got grounded for a month) and off shore about 5 yards away i saw her fin. same fin i saw when i was 5. every full moon i get dreams of her reaching out twords me... ive named her Mensumernas, mermish for Moons beauty. i have memorized the mermish laungauge. i my self have even heard her singing. in choir one day i sang so high that every boy looked at me...ONLY the boys! help me. i need ansers. ineed them now.

Hi I am the girl who was the one who was saved by the mermaid. I meorized the langauge because, well, I was on my pier, and I dov ein. She found me, and taught me. Now I have a little fin, and she says that I will be a full mergal on May 24. My b.day. What a great B.day present!!!!
